Re: French / Second language

It's not mandatory...

But it adds a little something to your resume. You can also be based in Montréal and not speak french.

Re: First Job

Plenty of operators offers after 6 months on the ramp a right seat in some turbo prop aircraft, that can lead into solo flying on another type of aircraft after a few hundred hours discovering the region.

Re: Accelerated Commercial Ground School

Is there anywhere in Canada that offers an accelerated commercial ground school? Go PilotTraining.ca you will gain a lot of time if you're disciplined, and having access to the material 270 days after the enrollment is a very good use for the next steps of your training. Always good to refer when y...

Re: Accelerated Commercial Ground School

You can go and make the exam without telling your FTU if you have a the recommandation letter from PilotTraining. The letter of recommandation comes from Harv's Air which is a FTU and is signed by a certified chief instructor (M. Penner). TC is well aware of this website as this is widely used acros...

Re: Moncton Flight College vs Air Richelieu (Montreal)

Both places are good... One will say Moncton is better, others will say Richelieu is better. Go visit and talk to the owners/instructors, and see by yourself which one fits best what you are expecting from them. They key will be your assigned instructor. Don't hesitate to ask for a change if you fee...

Je ne suis pas certain... Je te dirais d'y aller avant avec YULCODE et peut-être que eux peuvent déposer ton plan de vol VFR.

Re: Des tips pour le circuit Ville-Marie

Salut, Si tu vérifies dans le CFS, c'est clairement écrit que tu dois appeler pour obtenir ton code transpondeur afin de faire le Ville-Marie. Tu dois appeler avant ton vol afin de réserver ta place au 1-877-YUL-CODE au moins 30 minutes avant d'entamer ton vol. Je te conseille d'appeler bien avant ç...

Wasaya "Apprentice pilot" jobs

Hi, Just curious to hear from some 200hrs graduates that went on the "apprentice pilot" road with Wasaya. How long have you stayed on the ground before moving into a flying position and how fun was it up there in Red Lake and Pickle Lake? P.S. I find it very funny that a ramp job is now called a "ap...

Re: Category 1 AME renewal - color blind

The light gun test is probably the easiest for a colour blind to pass... Sadly, it's not available in Canada.

As per TC website:

"NOTE: The colour perception practical test is no longer acceptable."

D15 is your best friend.

Re: Whether to instruct or not?

It's the end results of the welfare mentality that has given this generation the mistaken idea that society owes them what ever they want.
